Hmm, I've been on low-carb for 6 months now, with great results, and
I'm surprised to hear someone mention this with so much emphasis. I
haven't had this problem at all since starting low carb


Although the book referred to Paleo
Diets a few times, I don't think it's considered one, since it allows
dairy, asks that you try to limit animal fat to a reasonable amount,
and not overdose on protein (some of those points being criticisms
I've heard of Atkins.)


Atkins does not overdose on protein.

I thought people on Atkins, which seem to be the majority of
low-carbers, had the same experience? Do Atkins people need to do
strict portion control, weighing of food, carb and calorie counting,
etc? Do Atkins people often feel unsatisfied and need willpower to
keep cravings under control? I've done some reading on this group
before, and I didn't get that impression...


It depends on how much the person has left to lose. I think that probably
goes for most low-carb diets. Atkins even stated in his book that once

you
no longer need to lose weight that you won't have the advantage of

appetite
suppression on your side anymore.


Can you provide a reference for this?

Since most of the people at maintenance are still eating relatively low carb
compared to the standard north american diet and consuming little in the way
of refined carbs they should still experience appetite suppression
(acknowledging exceptions). One could argue that the standard north
american diet is appetite stimulating given the role of refined carbs in
spiking insulin. Ketosis offers greater appetite suppression than
maintenance but maintenance should offer some suppression as well.

Sid...


From that point on, you will have to use
what you've learned and made habits about food choices and portion sizes.
Also, I've noticed that many people when they get closer to their goal
weights have to become more strict in counting carbs and calories to get

all
the way there.
